will trump selection to lose despite the hundreds of thousands who have lost their lives to cohabit 19 well that all changed 2 weeks ago when the coronavirus turned the president positive his reelection chances negative tonight trump is once again campaigning once again denying the dangers of the virus and this time he's risking people's lives in the process i bring golf in berlin this is the day. i think is all of this because it is all political just to get it so to make something that went through it now they say i am i think the time is right i think it's good he said out usually on the other of course a very young gentleman said. so and if you're lucky the barbecue is where years ahead and vaccines are there going to be distributors sure i'm not

concerned. i think work in all the time i got no postage stamp living in fear to come to me. also coming up when the pandemic engulfed new york hope and help were dished out daily by governor andrew cuomo his memoirs from that time are now in a new book including moments when some say the governor sounded and acted more like a president but i understand what the president is saying this is unsustainable that we close down the economy but if you ask the american people to choose. whose between public health and the economy then it's no contest. but our viewers watching on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with u.s. president trump on the campaign trail trying to make up for lost time and for a lost ground with just 20 days to go until the november 3rd election the numbers

have never looked so dismal for president truong his democratic challenger joe biden is leading in the polls a lead of double digits it has been a rapid reversal for the president in the span of 2 weeks he has participated in a presidential debate labeled the worst in u.s. history he has tested positive for the coronavirus and spent time in the hospital only to return to the white house which is now a viral hot spot for a 74 year old man who was overweight and who test positive for the coronavirus the rule is lots of rest and quarantined for at least 14 days but not for president truong he is again holding campaign rallies despite the all clear from his doctor the president is taking risks like never before risking his own health and the health of everyone around him. back on the campaign trail after his own brush with a witness donald trump is no trying to revive his reelection fortunes.

tossed mosque's from the stage at the fust of several events this week. following attendee separation from his hardcore fans it appears absence makes the heart grow fonder. i went through it now they say i'm a mutant i can feel i feel so lucky. to see everyone the while the thought lingered sought to alleviate any concerns the tightly packed crowd to me have about catching the virus. so i said to my people we are going to take whatever the hell they gave me and we're good at distribute it around ospital said everyone's going to have to. go. to be reinvigorated trump wrapped up the rally dancing with the

crowd even as the tone jawed with a country in crisis. the contrast with democratic nominee joe biden couldn't have been stocker visited another battleground state one of several essentially distance events across ohio he attacked trump's handling of the pandemic that's donald trump's presidency 250000 dead because of crude experts say we're likely to lose another 200000 people in the next few months unless we take some serious action and he doesn't know what he's doing all because this president's only worried about one thing the stock market he refused to follow the science it's estimated we just warnings mass nationally we save over $100000.00 lies between now and the end of the year of the pandemic the people the patients and the president to discuss all of this as the u.s. moves ever closer to election day i'm joined tonight by eric he's an epidemiologist

and health economist at the harvard chance school of public health and a senior fellow at the federation of american scientists in washington d c dr fighting it's good to have you on the day i know that you haven't personally examined or diagnosed the u.s. president but i would i would like to get your professional opinion here should the u.s. president be holding campaign rallies just a week after leaving the hospital where he was being treated for covert 90. yeah that's a fair question to be here what the c.d.c. says typically a mild case is infectious script 10 days but your case is infectious for 10 to 20 days and the problem is trump was hospitalized you can say you was hot lies out of caution but you could give index a message which is only for severe patients according to c.d.c. you know your show so in any way you count it he was

a severe case and he has definitely not hit 20 days now his doctor says he's tested negative on to answer tests but testing made about antigen test doesn't mean anything because it's not meant to rule out and say that you're not infectious any more so right now there's still a chance he's infectious so he should not be out there and yeah and you know that despite the fact that the president's own doctor has said you should sean conley have said that the president has tested negative for consecutive days so he's implying that the president then is no longer infectious but there's a trust issue with the white house isn't there. you know this absolute trust issue and all and as you know though these letters all are never signed and all state released with the permission of donald trump the other issue is the testing name of consecutively using the rapid and that's now in addition tests which the f.d.a.

these emergency authorization for this approval says it is not to be used for ruling out whether someone is infectious in the negative test does not rule you out that you're not contagious anymore and you're not supposed to use it after 7 days of initials and those this is why using that test is not allowed and the culture test they are supposed to use they have not done whatsoever so they have not offered any actual proof altogether it is entirely way too risky but it's part of true to form to turning you know flowering c.d.c. rule so it's still very worrisome and at the rally we saw yesterday in florida with the president we saw a huge crowds some people with face mask others without very little social distancing isn't there mounting evidence that these rallies are turning into

super spreading events. yes there is lots and most of these rallies less than 10 percent 15 percent at most where mass and there's 0 to cincy and just today minnesota where he previously had rallies they found over 2 dozen cases linked to presidential route most of them linked to trump's rallies so he doesn't use that's a lot of cases and those are just the ones we would be able to track and trace so we know these events are spraying coronavirus especially since these temperature of homeowners do not work and half of the infections may be innocent medics and that's why this fire is so are to contain what of what about the white house as a viral hotspot am i correct in assuming that anyone who has been inside the white house recently should be considered a possible coronavirus threat. yeah that's

a very good concern because the white house has been using a very very loose security protocol and it's it's looser and you can basically hop skip over a fence basically be as rapid tests which capture most cases but not all have been what they use and once you test negative which is not perfect if people been going without masks this is a vinyl white house it's had over 37 cases within just the primary orbit of the white house and the president alone in the last 2 weeks that is more than most many many countries with millions of people and that is why this white house that is so insane but yet they refuse the c.d.c. i'm blocked the c.d.c. from contact racing anyone and that's why it's so frustrating i'm sure you've heard the news john johnson and johnson have suspended its vaccine trial because one of the patients became ill we've also got reports that eli lilly has suspended trials

on an antibody treatment against code 19 this is how dr william schaffner at vanderbilt framed the news take a listen this is standard operating procedure it shows that the system is working it shows that people are be very careful on behalf of the volunteers and i think we need to not draw too many conclusions because as i say these are the sorts of things that can happen so dr if i go to get do you agree is there no reason to be alarmed by these 2 suspensions. you know these suspensions are acceptable and they are doing it out of abundance of caution because the if they were trying to rush it they would basically keep on rolling people while they investigate right now they're suspending a roman while they investigate and again in these kind of trial the out with the

want to do a full review of the medical record if you're off slope with the sure cause of it and maybe exclude those kind of patients in the future but at the bottom line this is a good thing and normally if it happened with any other trials that countless thousands that happened every year you we want to hear about weir's hearing about it because so this is normal and it is the abundantly cautious thing to do it's not rushing this is the right thing to do this week the health minister here in germany said that germany will be able to begin to administer in the vaccine in the 1st quarter of next year now for that to be possible he must be assuming that at least one vaccine will be successful that it will be safe and that it will get approval all within the next few months and is that wishful thinking. it is well this is why i don't want to count the eggs before they hatch chickens before the extension

because the issue is there are sometimes vaccine efficacy and safety issues that come up and we want to know whether they work 1st and then that they're safe before laying out the our timeline all the time or in general assuming everything runs smoothly could be fast and available for some limited amounts of frontline emergency health care workers but for the mass vaccination for the general population it won't be available until late spring early summer of next year ok we've got about the middle that they were just asking you know the models say that we could be looking at maybe $200000.00 more deaths in the u.s. by early next year at the same time here in europe even here in germany where the pandemic has been somewhat well managed new infections are surging is there still time to prevent the worst case scenario from becoming reality yeah there's

definitely time and the key thing is hopefully not relying on lockout long term but also not relying on her community we have to do contact tracing testing and mask wearing mascara is the most efficient effective and distancing and if we have all these things that improve ventilation to prevent aerosol into our transmission i think we can prevent most of these yes and what did these are right dr eric feingold in joining us tonight from washington d.c. dr we appreciate your time and your valuable insights it's very important right now thank you thank you. the pandemic the corona virus threat and the public health crisis as we are seeing tonight this ordeal is far from over here in europe as well as the united states it's not the time to publish your pandemic memoirs you might say but that is exactly what new york governor andrew cuomo is doing the governor has just

published a book that reviews his experiences during the early months of the outbreak the book american crisis leadership lessons from the covert 1000 pandemic looks back at the situation in new york and the response of new york authorities cuomo goes through those daily press briefings which he held on live television it was those briefings that led many in the us beyond new york to start talking about cuomo as presidential material obama's firm leadership earned him praise some of it backhanded one critic of the book says that the governor has a tendency to be tyrannical exactly what we need in a crisis like this pandemic or even across the atlantic here in europe many people tuned in every day for governor cuomo those updates as new york city and new york state became the world's pandemic epicenter to date nearly half a 1000000 cases have been registered in the state and more than 30000 people have

died most of them in new york city here's a look back at those daily briefings with new york governor andrew cuomo at the height of the pandemic the increasing the number of cases continues. unabated as a matter of fact the rate of increase has gone up we need at a minimum an additional $30000.00 ventilators you cannot buy them you cannot find them so we lost another $507.00 new yorkers and those are not just very large numbers we see that every number is a face and a family and a brother and a sister and a mother and a father we control the baby we apacs i thowt it's coming down the other side that is good news if the data holds and if this trend holds.

we are past the high point where those daily briefings became moments of media magic if you believe that they opened a path to the us presidency for entry cuomo. pulling out jeff jarvis he is a professor of journalism and a media commentator he joins me from new york city jeff it's good to see you again what do you say were those briefings i know it was at the height of something that was that was terrible but were they for the governor moments of media magic. no i think there are moments of leadership magic as an endurance cuomo is a not uncontroversial character in american politics cities known as being tough and sometimes difficult but the contrast is what mattered there the contrast between donald trump of our utter failure as a president leading us nowhere and cuomo who had the most difficult situations the 1st place hit by the pandemic new york at the crossroads of the world where people

were coming in to bring him before we knew what it was really before we knew what to do about it and how to handle it. and fighting against a federal government is providing absolutely no help so i think that his voice on television every day was a voice of trust in science authority trying to make government a servant citizens these are all good things i know that here in europe we saw those briefings every day and vinnie they were always followed by the president's briefings from the white house so that juxtaposition as you said i mean it was striking if there had been strong national leadership coming from the white house do you think those briefings would have even been televised with everything been necessary. probably not and certainly other states got worse than we did in time and there weren't daily briefings televised across the whole country and even as you told me to the world of because new york was was at the early moment in this

and i also think well knows mean online on the air made it something special with his authority with his humor with his scolding told him you know you better not let me become down there in new york he had a paternal way to deal with us and i think we were we were hungering for real leadership from anywhere what happened in the us of course was that the various governors of the states ended up having to become the federal government in absentia they had to take over where the federal government failed they had to get it put that they had to deal with with regulations do we wear masks or not all those kinds of questions and i think cuomo did an excellent job now of course the republicans are trying to argue that we have so many deaths in new york he did a bad job but again we didn't fully know what was going on we didn't know as much as we know now we still don't fully know what's going on and it was very early in the american experience of the pandemic but i mean it was very early and that

brings me to my next point that the pandemic is far from over and we're looking in the united states possibly the 2nd wave coming through some people are saying that it's premature for a book like this to be released that it's premature for governor cuomo to take what looks like a victory lap when people are still getting sick how do you see it. to say that is to say that what we do right now journalism is premature you know we have the hubris in our field of saying that we write the 1st draft of history well cuomo was part of that 1st draft of the story and i think he's perfectly free to put out his book and give the lessons i haven't read it yet i haven't got it yet it's just out today but i i think it's a fine thing to come out with it and again it serves this contrast with the lack of leadership we have in the country it shows us a model what a leader can be and right now in this country we need that from governor cuomo we need that too frankly from the new america we're missing leadership here of this

country and wherever we can find models of it will take do you think that this is preparing a way for governor cuomo to run for u.s. president no i don't think so at all i think of that was speculated when we still had a field of 17 candidates in the democratic race but then one he was too busy dealing with the crisis and 2 a story ran for president would have been seen as a dereliction of duty so he really had no opportunity number 2 fairly early on it became joe biden and joe biden's the nominee i presume joe biden is going to be in for at least 4 years i'm personally hoping cover laris will be in great years after that so i think that pretty much kind of washes the governor what was opportunity to become president i want to ask you geoff we've just for amount of time the social media twitter trump has used twitter like no president has before him if joe biden wins the election do you think for him will will twitter be almost like kryptonite is to superman. no i think joe biden will show that he can use it with

authority look at the case after the democratic debate the other night there was a fly on. vice president pence's head and biden's people had it with a fly swatter a little bit of humor a little bit of humanity not coming off like an authoritarian from the the balcony like a deja is what maybe joe biden's method and that's what i hope that he still uses social media because it's a way to talk directly to the public and i think i think that's as long as you're not an authoritarian that's a good thing that's quite the image of veto and joe biden and mike pence all that one sentence there jeff not many people can she do that jeff jarvis joining us tonight from new york city jeff it's always good to talk with you thank you thank you. the british government has introduced new measures to combat the spread of the corona virus now on tuesday the country reported 17000 new cases just in the past 24 hours deaths from cope with 19

and head went to russia where they met a woman who's made it work to plant for the future. she's replenishing the forests and the air must get. what looks like random bunches of greenery are in fact pine tree saplings thousands of them already for planting marianna montano explains how it's done. it's very simple you place the sampling in the hole then fill that with earth and check that the saplings firmly batted in check once more that it can't be pulled out yet. 8000 saplings are due to be planted today here on the outskirts of moscow marianna munteanu asked for help online and an army of volunteers responded she regularly

invites members of the public to help or. russia's forests of taking quite a beating in recent years huge areas have been devastated by wildfires pests like bark beetles pose a further challenge russia has more forest than any other country trees cover nearly half of this vast land. i think doing this since 2010 there were terrible wildfires back then throughout the whole of russia i saw a picture of huge well established trees being blown across the fields by the wind they were breaking off like matchsticks marianna munchie onil studied economics and initially worked in finance but she quit her job to devote all her attention to reforestation you can change the world one small step at a time and people will pull together for

a good cause. everybody here wants to help people become more aware of nature again and choice courage them to do their bit to protect the environment. i want our planet to be as intact as possible so that we have healthy air to breathe and leave our children and grandchildren an environment in which they can live well. our environment is sick i don't want to inflict further injuries on the natural world. 7 years ago marianna munteanu moved to moscow to build up her own environmental organization but she's still not a lover of the city her childhood in the countryside very much she too she is. but i love nature i love the forest as a child i always spent the summers with my grandmother in the village. that though

that's her house right next to the forest we would go out several times a week picking berries or mushrooms. are back in her moscow apartment she's able to relax after all the hard work but she never loses sight of her goal but you can see a change in my earth and this is my mission in life i want to achieve great things for the benefit of society of the planet and nature of the planet blog good afternoon my name is mario tiana and i'm president of the russian climate fund. i was the good boy knew of the. work has long since expanded beyond planting trees together with other environmental activists she puts out her own podcast you know big to get the message out to more people but she's also developed a mobile game app called plant the forest the amos to promote interest in the well being of trees income from the app goes to plant new saplings. and you plenty

more on the gamer has to collect points which then allow him to plant trees the idea is to inspire users so that they stop being indifferent towards our trees and so that they want to help with resource station. with nothing. back to the forest on the outskirts of moscow it's time for lunch in the past 10 years marianna monty are no end her helpers have planted more than a 1000000 trees that's the equivalent of around 1300 soccer fields a large number of volunteers of all ages have helped to make it possible last year she was selected by the united nations for the young champion of the earth award right nearby she shows us some other young trees from her project that have had a chance to get established this tree was planted just 7 years ago and as you can see it's already bigger than me soon

this area should once again be a strong healthy forest hopefully strong enough to withstand all the challenges of the future. many people who live here all say deeply connected to nature these are the core of mountains in east in albania life here is calm quiet traditional but many young people crave more they're leaving in droves heading to cities and even abroad but is there a way to make them want to stay. on lama takes lots of photos the mountains of northeastern albania are so beautiful he works for p p n e a the country's largest environmental n.g.o.s he promotes sustainable farming practices for the sake both of nature and local people so they can make
